Starring four-time Oscar® nominee Saoirse Ronan (Blitz, Lady Bird), Bad Apples is a satirical thriller produced by Pulse Films (American Honey, Pig) that was filmed at The Bottle Yard Studios and on location in the South West earlier this year.
Directed by Jonatan Etzler (One More Time) and written by Jess O’Kane, it is an adaptation of Rasmus Lindgren’s debut novel ‘De Oönskade’. Ronan stars as Maria, a primary school teacher doing her best to inspire a class of 10-year-olds but unable to because of one unruly and chaotic student. With her career in question and the child’s behaviour spiralling, she makes a series of bad decisions that lead to her accidentally taking and locking this “bad apple” in her home.
Maria tries desperately to backtrack, but when the class starts flourishing and the staff and parents are thrilled with the improvement, she finds herself in a very complicated predicament.
We look forward to sharing more when the film’s release date is announced. In the meantime, you can read more about the project here.
